I love the emptiness of the second photo, the way the kayaker appears to be floating somewhere between water and sky.

Very true, what you say. And we can add “there is nothing — absolutely nothing — half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.” :-)

One can readily experience serenity by just looking at these visuals. What a clear sky and placid waterfront. The gently floating kayak leaves a small trail of ripples, like a blushing adolescent girl experiencing her first kiss…best wishes… Raj.

Nice one, I have paddled a couple of times in these condtions, it´s really relaxing but it feels that I´m standing still when I´m on open water, but nice it is. :)

Well, forward motion wasn’t such a problem because the bow waves rippled out nicely in the still water. But, paradoxically, staying upright was almost a problem when not paddling—without a horizon or any other points of reference, we were on the verge of vertigo…
